Burning matchstick in a super slow motion

The process of firing the matchstick takes parts of second in the normal situation, but with the slow imaging to 4,000 frames per second, the scene becomes like a gorgeous view in the world of ignition and fire.

Motion can be slowed further by combining techniques, interpolating between overcranked frames. The traditional method for achieving super-slow motion is through high-speed photography, a more sophisticated technique that uses specialized equipment to record fast phenomena, usually for scientific applications.
